When Dean takes a paying hunt, he thinks he has hit the jackpot. And who deserves it more with Sam’s recent departure to Stanford and his dad’s withdrawal. But nothing on this hunt is as simple as it seems.

"Sam, I'd do anything for you, even heal your brother but the fact is that I can't, not in this body.  This vessel is barely holding on as it is.  But with you as my vessel..."

How much is Sam willing to sacrifice to prove his loyalty to his brother?  How far is he willing to go to convince Lucifer once and for all that he'd never be his vessel?  But when Dean's life is on the line, would Sam even have the strength to say no?

When Dean is severely wounded after they follow a lead to Detroit, Sam is faced with an impossible decision where any choice he makes would be the wrong one.

A werewolf, stolen hearts, and a mysterious girl who dances beneath the pale moonlight. Is there a connection between the three? And if so, can Sam figure out what it is before it's too late for Dean?

"What the mind thinks must be in it, are in the same sense as letters are on a tablet which bears no actual writing; this is just what happens in the case of the mind." (Aristotle, On the Soul).

Major spoilers for that episode - the full title is in the story body as that is a spoiler, as well as saying what's in it...

Addendum: 17/11/10 As the S5 DvD set is out I feel I can now put the title in.

Winchesters always needed protecting, from themselves as much as anything else – so maybe it was no surprise that Mama added all that thyme and basil and oregano into spaghetti sauce every time a Winchester crossed their doorstep.

 Sometimes Dean and Sam are not gonna like what they have been doing when Dean's girlfriend Roxanne has been on their way to be ruined.
